JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 27.-The
steamship Cherokee, of the Clyde line, di-
rect from New York, while rounding into
her pier this afternoon at two o'clock ran
hard aground near the southern shore of the
river at Grassy Point. She carried about
forty passengers and II large cargo of mis-
cellaneous freight. Prompt aid was lent
her by other craft, but notwithstanding the
most strenuous efforts to pull her off she
sticks fast. The passengers were safely
transferred to the shore and lighters are now
at work removing the freight. No damage is
reported TO her hull. The officers say she
will probably get OFF tonight with the tide.

formerly piled the st. Johns river under

BellevieW Briefs.

BELLEvIEw, FLA, April '27-Quite an
interest is being developed in the raising of
upland rice. Messrs Keller d Brooks have
obligated themselves toput in the machinery
necessary for getting out the rice and the
farmers have obligated themselves to put in
at least eighty acres. Probably more than
that will be raised this year and if the OK
pertinent proves a success the acreage will
no doubt be largely increased another year
Rice can be raised just about as easily as
corn, and if the figures given are correct,
viii prove twice as profitable. The standard

a Genuine Creole Fight.
From O Nc,o OrIenns Letter.

FROM q NclO DrtettHS Letter,
The recent singular killing of Young
New Orleans creole in friendly drunken
fencing bout in n club room recalls more
tragic and remarkable episode that occurred
in that city long before it passed from the
control of the French. The incident is men
toned in Meeks Romantic and Picturesque
in the History of louisiana and in Ciai-
borne's History of Mississippi" Six young
creoles, heated with wine, were returning
from a dance on starlight night when one
of them exclaimed: What Il lovely night /!
and what an excellent place for sword-play!"
Eyes, suppose we take a turn with the RAJ
pies, d replied another one Then the two
who had spoken drew their rapielS, or short
swords (which were regularly carried by
French gentlemen of the better class in
those days, and proceeded to fence vigoi-
ously rs il engaged in actual fight. "Why
should the rest OF us stand here idle" ex-
claimed q third man, drawing n rapier.
Then they all drew and proceeded TO fence,
disposed in three pairs. A paScr-by came
along early the next morning and found the
six young men stretched upon the ground
five of them dead and the sixth one NOR
tally wounded. The survivor gave full
account Of the occurrence and died few
hours later.

Lake Weir Waits.

LAKE WEIR, FLA, April 27.-There is a
fair prospect for a lemon crop. Orange
trees are putting on their second growth.
Florida oranges will be scarce next season
unless there will be general June bloom.
There is a small lime tree near the lake
that has met with several misfortuncs.
When one year old it was burned to the
ground. In January, 1886, the hard freeze
killed the stock. Last August the tree was
broken and wrapped with domestic. This
was left on until the tree was so nearly cut
in two that it fell. 1t was raised, supported
by stakes, and a sprout marched. This
spring the tree put on a good growth,
doomed and has a few lines as large as
marbles
In this community there is very little
perance, fish law, no fence law, the
present administration, old Ireland and a

MANGLED BY A BOMBSHELL.
Six Terribly Wounded by the Explo
sion of an Old War Relic.

DIX Terribly WOuuu0O by Dne E8plO-
sion of an Old War Relic.
BALTIMORE, April ga special to the
Aaerican tonight from Harper's Ferry
gives the particulars of terrific explosion
of an old shell with serious results to six
people The shell was an army relic. 1t
had been standing for twenty three years
on the side of Bolivar Heights, one
of the most beautiful of the elevations over
looking Harper's Ferry. Yesterday after
noon Frank Willis and jesse Jones probed
the old shell with an iron rod their intention
being to get what powder out of it they
could. A crowd of fifteen or twenty people
congregated around the place to witness the
operation. Everything went all right until
the iron set fire to the shell and caused the
explosion.
The effect was indescribable The crowd
was knocked down and scattered and the fol-
lowing people received serious injuries: Miss
Agnes Willis, aged IA years, had her right
leg blown off below the knee and is not ex-
pected to live Her brother, George Willis.
aged years, had his left leg broken. Frank
Willis, the father of the two children and
one of the men who were working with the
shell, was badly burned about the face.
Jesse Jones had his hand broken: William
Turner's foot was blown off, and Edward
Folks leg and jaw bone We're broken and he
sustained other wounds about the head
which will probably cause his death.
The force of the exploding shell was very
great. Pieces of it passed through the
house owned by Albert Cockrill and tore
away windows and plastering, and
another piece went through the
dwelling of Edward Pales, which was over
100 yards distance. The noise Of the OK
plosion was very loud and attracted many
people from the town. The victims are suf-
fering greatly, but have good medical at
tention.
There are other old shells around Harper's
Ferry, but they will be let severely alone in
the future.

BOth houses asSCnbIed III JOINT SeSSl
noon and took another formal ballC
United State Senator. 1t resulted:

The joint session was adjourned to noon
tomorrow. Rumors that an attempt will
he made to elect in joint session regardless
oifthe caucus seem uufounded, as the vote
taken is merelyfolmal.
The Senate to-day confirmed Moses Brown
as Collector and Dan Smith as Assessor OF
Taxes for Duval county.
MIR. DAVIDsON's VICTORY.
The seating of James Wood Davidson rs
the duly elected member of the House of
Representatives from Dade county was ex-
pected, as the contestant made very strong
case and the contestee depended only on
technical points for his retention. The
House. however, declined to consider the
formal omissions of notice, etc, to the con
testee and went at once into the merits of
the case on the principle that complete jus
tice should be done the parties under the
constitutional provision that each house
shall judge of the election of its members,
regardless of the form of contesting seats
prescribed by former Legislatures. The
seating OF Mr.. Davidson gives Gov. Perry
one more vote for United States Senator.
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION BILL
Tho, join 4 committee of the two houses,
after ela!,Qrate consideration, reported to
the Ingiflatnre Senator McKinne's bill for
the estaniisiiment Of a railroad commission.
This bill was carefully framed and was the
first bill introduced in either house this seS
sion. While it was very arbitrary in its pro
visions it was considered, even by the rail
road men who were consulted by the joint
committee, as the best of the many pre-
sented to both branches of the Legislature.
1t is based on the Georgia BILL with q few
notifications suggested by the practical
test to which the Georgia measure has been
subjected. The bill will probably become
the law on this subject quite soon, as prefer-
ence will be given the bill to advance it to
final passage.
TRYING TO MAKE PROGRESS.
Both houses are trying to accomplish a
large amount of work now that balloting
in caucus for United States Senator has
been suspended to Monday night. One bal
lot will have to be taken each day
in joint session in order to comply with the
law, but it is understood that the votes will
be so cast as toprevent an election. Nothing
! but an accident or breach of faith could
bring about an election during this formal
balloting each day, and it is earnestly hoped
! for the good of the Democratic party that
no attempt will be made to break the dead
| lock in open session by the use of Repub-
lican votes. The delay in choosing in caucus
is irritating, but an election without first
! deciding within party line who shall be the
nominee, would be outrageous and wholly
objectionable The Republicans insist that
they will vote solid for their nominee to the
end, but all factions of the Democrats watch
them with suspicion
